Raspberry Pi 4 Beta Firmware Brings True USB Boot for High-Speed Storage, No microSD Required

'Owners of a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B single-board computer looking to make the most of the device's high-speed USB 3.0 connectivity by turning it into the device's primary storage can now do so — at least, if they're willing to help out with beta-testing the latest firmware. The Raspberry Pi 4 launched last year with a range of improvements over its predecessor, including the option of up to four times as much memory and high-speed USB 3.0 connectivity for peripherals, but with a couple of regressions: The loss of the ability, present in the Raspberry Pi 3 range, to boot from a network server or USB Mass Storage device.' -- source: https://www.hackster.io/news/raspberry-pi-4-beta-firmware-brings-true-usb-bo...
